ALBA Graduate Business School (reviews)

The courses available and the method of delivery is really amazing. I love how the lecturers communicate and try their possible best to make you understand their viewpoint as as listen to yours. I also love the location of the university. It is located close to the city centre which offers a lot of fun activities because as much as I am a student, I need to blow off steam now and again and having various ways to do this is amazing.

In general, company executives and workers find it to be a good teaching facility. For all firms with an international orientation, the expertise offered is remarkable. All of the professors who are coming here are of the highest caliber and come from other top-tier international business schools. They have a keen understanding of how academia and actual market demands interact. Overall, the program was excellent, emphasizing real business perspectives and real life rather than dealing with an excessive amount of academic theory. It was innovative, modern, and efficient. Excellent instructors, convenient location in the heart of Athens.

Alba is good value for money when compared to other MBA schools in Europe and their programs are indeed run entirely in English. However, I do feel the ‘Business Unusual’ is just clever marketing as it’s a traditional business school with a few ‘unusual courses’ thrown in which turned out to be disappointing. As with many schools, they have a few great, many decent and a few terrible lecturers. What makes it frustrating is that despite course evaluations, nothing really changes and it does not seem feedback from students is valued at all. The academic office is also very rigid and not very flexible to student needs. It’s a very formal and distant relationship. You never really feel a part of Alba. The career office services is targeted mainly for junior professionals though they run many useful workshops. Overall, it’s not a bad choice but it’s wise to talk to people and shop around to ensure you get what you’re looking for in an MBA.

Excellent, distinguished professors are coming to Athens for the program therefore there are focused to the students and there is great interaction, a lot of awards in international contest ie best business plan etc competing with top global
Universities.

1. Faculty is quite good
2. The school offer a wide range of courses suitable for both working and non-working professionals
3. The school assist in the placement procedure
4. The school has a good mix of international students

This MBA program has proven to be not only an insightful and enlightening experience for me, as an individual and professional, but also an extremely good investment.
The ROI has been tremendous and the degree itself unlocked for me new possibilities and horizons abroad. More specifically, right after the completion of the program, and even before my graduation, i was able to capitalize and make a tremendously important life decision – to move abroad and establish myself as an international HR professional within a global organization.
This program empowered me.

Look forward to doing one more Master program there. Very helpful professors with great expertise.

On the other hand, i strongly believe that needs to be taken into consideration the size of each class since i was member of a 40 people. In my opinion a Master program must have at most 25 people.

I would definitely recommend it. It helped set the standards in terms of academic background and discipline for my later on a professional career. The level of professors was exceptional and assisted for a better and deeper understanding of finance but also helped to get prepared on how to work in order to deliver projects on time.

It is generally a good educational facility for business executives and staff. The knowledge provided is exceptional for all businesses with an international mindset. All professors that are coming here are top class from other international business schools with a strong sense of how academia is merged with real market demands. However, I have to point out that is definitely not a good option for someone looking for work. The Career Office -which they advertise and charge- is rubbish. The simply don’t know how to promote students and they have no knowledge of how the Greek companies actually work. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone other than business staff for which the programmes are paid for.

Overall, the program was excellent, focusing on real business perspectives & life, innovative, modern, efficient, rather than dealing with too much academic theory. Great professors, nice location in the center of Athens with easy access.
